Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts RC1206FR-076R2L and RMCF1206FT6R20 satisfy the electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution with RC3216F6R2CS.

RC1206FR-076R2L (YAGEO): This substitute maintains identical electrical specifications with a lower temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C versus ±300ppm/°C), providing improved thermal stability. All regulatory certifications align with the original component. Packaging is supplied in Tape & Reel format with higher inventory availability (44,079 pcs).

RMCF1206FT6R20 (Stackpole Electronics Inc): This substitute includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification in addition to standard compliance requirements. Temperature coefficient is ±200ppm/°C. Physical height is 0.028" (0.70mm) compared to 0.026" (0.65mm) for the original, remaining within 1206 package tolerance. Packaging is supplied in Tape & Reel format with inventory of 13,805 pcs.

Selection between substitutes depends on application requirements: standard industrial applications may use either part; automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification must use RMCF1206FT6R20.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-076R2L replace RC3216F6R2CS in all applications?

A: Yes. RC1206FR-076R2L meets all electrical, mechanical, and regulatory requirements. The lower temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C) provides equal or superior performance in temperature-sensitive circuits.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: RC1206FR-076R2L is a standard industrial-grade resistor. RMCF1206FT6R20 includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is suitable for automotive applications. Both share identical electrical specifications and package dimensions within tolerance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the original and substitutes?

A: Yes. RC3216F6R2CS is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Both substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This affects handling and assembly processes but does not impact component performance.

Q: Does the height difference in RMCF1206FT6R20 affect PCB assembly?

A: No. The height difference (0.028" versus 0.026" maximum seated height) is within 1206 package specification tolerance and does not affect PCB layout or assembly compatibility.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RC3216F6R2CS, RC1206FR-076R2L, and RMCF1206FT6R20 are all ROHS3 compliant with REACH Unaffected status.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for automotive applications?

A: RMCF1206FT6R20 is qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards and is the appropriate selection for automotive circuit applications.

Q: Can substitutes be mixed in the same production batch?

A: Component substitution decisions are application-specific. Consult design documentation and quality procedures for substitution approval requirements.
